Introduction: 10-Strike Connection Monitor

10-Strike Connection Monitor is a network connection monitoring software for Microsoft Windows networks. The program generates screen, sound, and e-mail notifications on connections and maintains a log file with information on remote user and computer name, accessed file and folder name, date, type of access, and so on. It also allows to block or unblock network connections when necessary.

With 10-Strike Connection Monitor, you can:

• Monitor connections to your files, folders, printers, registry, etc.
• Monitor connections constantly, in background. When new connection occurs, the program will notify you with a sound and a message window in the upper right corner of the screen (or with a balloon tip in the system tray).
• Maintain connections log. All connections to your network resources will be recorded in the log file, which you can view by clicking the Log button on the toolbar. The log file stores the following information:
  • Connection date and time
  • Computer name, which accessed your resource
  • Remote user name, who accessed your resource
  • Your files opened by remote user
  • File access type
  Structure of information being recorded to the log file can be configured as well.
• Disconnect users and terminate their access to your resources manually, using the context menu.
• Disconnect users who download large files automatically according to the blacklist settings.

• Easy-to-use user interface
